Saša Stanišić & Katja Spitzer

Hey, hey, hey, Taxi! 2

Hey Taxi-2

Every evening, Saša Stanišić and his son Nikolai invent new stories in which you can experience the craziest adventures involving the craziest taxis: Favourite taxi driver Odjo Odjo steps on the gas during a fast-paced chase, after all, a cockatoo has to be saved! The thieving dwarf called Thermometer is in trouble, so it’s a good thing that we’re sitting on a taxi kite and can help him! And Müggi the mosquito wants to be a great painter – or maybe she already is?

Despite all the fun, the important questions of life are not neglected: What are friends for? Why don’t you have to be like everyone else? And why is it great to just be really lazy?

The taxi is back – with new fantastic stories, once again brightly illustrated by Katja Spitzer. And because Nikolai has grown a little older in the meantime, this volume is for all children aged 6 and over.
